Container crane crashes down on MSC feeder at Yantian port

On 16 September, an MSC feeder boxship, the 1,730 TEU MSC Riona, was involved in an accident at Yantian Port in southern China, resulting in part of a ship-to-shore crane collapsing onto the vessel.

As a result, a number of boxes from the ship fell into the sea, according to local sources.

MSC Riona was built in 1998 and was deployed on an intra-Asia service.

The accident occurred around 8:40 am, causing the suspension of operations at berth two of the Shenzhen port. At the time of writing, no injuries have been reported.
